O the staff
went out in the middle of the night
they prayed for the moon to give ‘em light
for they’ed many a mile to go that night afore
they reached the food-o, food-o, food-o
they’ed many a mile to go that afore they reached the food-o.
They ran till
they came to the dining hall
the door was locked so they went through the wall
they didn’t mind the guard’s at all ‘cause
the loot was all around-o, round-o, round-o, round-o they didn’t
mind the guard’s at all ‘cause the loot was all around-o.
They went straight
to the big walk-in
the milk and the meat were kept therein
and on that terrible night of sin
the chaplin joined right in-o, in-o, in-o and on that terrible night
of sin the chaplin joined right in-o.
Ol Jim King
jumped out of bed
and out of the window he stuck his head
cried Dale, Dale better get out of bed
for the staff is on the prowl-o, prowl-o, prowl-o cried Dale, Dale
better get out of bed for the staff is on the prowl-o.
Oh, Jim ran
till he got inside
the bread box it was open wide
there wasn’t a sweet roll left to hide
and the staff was on the trail-o, trail-o, trail-o there wasn’t
a sweet roll left to hide for the staff was on the trail-o.
They ran till
they came to their own place
and the coons they stood with a smile on their face
they said there’d better be no waste so we’ll eat it
all-o, all-o, all-o they said there’d better be no waste so
we’ll eat it all-o.
The staff they
ate with all their might
they stuffed it in the rest of the night
at breakfast not a one was in sight
‘cause they layed in bed all day-o, day-o, day-o, at breakfast
not a one was in sight ‘cause they layed in bed all day-o. |
